In the United Kingdom, The Weeknd has celebrated the 10-year anniversary of his breakout album, Beauty Behind the Madness, which has notably led to a resurgence of his singles and albums back onto the charts. Recently, two major tracks, 'The Hills' and 'Die for You,' saw their ranks improve on the Official Hip Hop and R&B Singles chart, reaching No. 34 and No. 38 respectively. Meanwhile, the song 'Blinding Lights,' known for its extensive commercial success, climbed to No. 13, just short of the top ten. Additionally, The Weeknd has also observed his more recent song 'Timeless,' featuring Playboi Carti, leap to a higher chart position, indicating his continued dominance in the music scene. Several of The Weeknd's selected tracks have re-entered the Billboard Global charts, both in the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. lists. His collaboration with Anitta, 'São Paulo,' is particularly noteworthy as it re-entered the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. at a prominent position while 'The Hills' returned to the bottom of the Billboard Global 200.
